Alcove:
An alcove and street light in the tunnel on Lionel Street, Birmingham.
Light at the end of the tunnel:
I liked the light falling on the water in the tunnel and shining on the brick. Railway tunnel, Lionel Street, Birmingham
White flame:
A swan at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. I liked the shape and the contrast between the white swan and the dark water.

There, I Fixed It.
Oh, this is fantastic: photographs of totally lashed up ‘fixes’ for various broken things. The plumbing examples look frighteningly like the state a previous owner left the pipework in our house, but there are some hair-raising, duct-tape-tastic fixes. You can’t help thinking that some of the ‘solutions’ probably took more time and trouble than actually fixing it probably would have done.

The Fantastical Capybara: An Interview with Melanie Typaldos About Her Caplin Rous
I’ve seen capybara in the wild, and they are indeed fascinating and bizarre creatures. The phrase “gruffly wise” does indeed sum up their appearance quite well, though I would describe their vocalisations as being like those of a guinea pig rather than a Geiger counter, but perhaps I’ve never heard a twittering Geiger counter.
I’m not sure I approve totally of keeping a lone capybara as a pet because they are highly social animals, but he sounds as if he gets plenty of social contact from his humans to make up for it.

The Intermittent Kevin - Find My iPhone works, and it is awesome.
Great story about someone actually locating their lost/stolen iPhone through the Find My iPhone feature. I have to admit that almost the first thing I did with iPhone OS 3.0 installed (apart from trying copy and paste) was to locate my iPhone sitting on the desk in front of me with Find My iPhone, and squealed with delight when it actually worked. It’s quite magical.

Watching:
Bella was getting a bit fed up of me poking a camera at her at this point. I should have moved the frame a bit to the right to give her right eye a bit more space, but I was rushing.
